The Duke Of Sussex, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle are known to make headlines in numerous instances. However, the one that has got them famous on a global platform is their crusade against the press and media. The duo have made no secret of their abhorrence for the tabloids and have gone to lengths to settle their scores with the respective publications and broadcasts. In the course of the same, they have ruffled feathers with various media tycoons, which have resulted in public rivalries and verbal bitter wars. 

The flag bearer of them all has been the eminent English journalist, and Talk TV host, Piers Morgan, who has built up an entire career despising the two, or so he says. Morgan left no opportunity to take a public gibe at the Duchess, reported Independent. The tabloid Mogul recently received an award for his exclusive interview with global icon, Cristiano Ronaldo. The British journalist sat down with the football star during a ceremony held at London’s Grosvenor House.

While delivering his acceptance speech for the same, Morgan made a satirical mention of Meghan Markle as he thanked him for her contribution to his glorious career. Morgan declared “I want to thank Meghan Markle,” as he continued, “Without her contribution to my career I would never have gone to TalkTV.” “I would never have been standing here with this award,” added Morgan rekindling his long-standing feud with the Duchess.

It might seem like a lifetime ago that Morgan left the Good Morning Britain platform after his insinuating comments on the Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan Markle. However, his hatred towards the Duchess has known no boundaries over the years. There have been many instances that he shot wild hits at Markle for her bold stance against the royal family. Nonetheless, the Duchess has been away from public platforms for almost half a year now, and the comments seem to be only aggravating over time.

As many would already know, the story of Piers Morgan versus Meghan Markle runs deeper than just journalism and tabloid stories. In his own statements on the Late Late Show with James Corden, Morgan once revealed the close ties she shared with the Duchess. According to him, apparently, Markle even claimed that she was a big fan of his. However, unfortunately for Morgan, Markle seemed no longer ‘interested’ in their friendship. And the rest is history. Thus started the never-ending rivalry between the media tycoon, Piers Morgan, and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.
